wholesomeness
Quality of goodness
Wholesomeness is the quality of being good for you—morally, physically, or spiritually.
It suggests health, purity, and an absence of anything corrupting or unwholesome: the wholesomeness of farm life, the wholesomeness of her smile.
The word often carries nostalgic overtones, evoking simpler times or innocent pleasures: There's a wholesomeness to old sitcoms that feels almost quaint now.
